03 / ORIGINAL ISSUE TEXT

plotly/plotly.py #5680 · read the original issue

Currently there's no check in the CI to verify that the files generated by the codegen script (which are the contents of `plotly/graph_objs/`) are up-to-date after the source files used in the codegen process are changed (primarily the files in `codegen/` itself, but for example `basevalidators.py` is also used).

This means that the CI can be green even if the generated files are out of date. This happened recently with https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/5673 resulting in the follow-up PR https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/5679.

We should add a CI job that runs the codegen and then fails if the generated files do not match what's committed in the repo.
